Arrived! xhr.send(ArrayBufferViews)

For a while now XHR2's overloaded send() method has supported sending a ArrayBuffer (a raw byte array).

Chrome 22 (current Canary) deprecates this feature by replacing it with sending ArrayBufferViews instead. JS Typed Arrays are just special ArrayBufferViews, so all this really means is that you can now send a typed array directly across the wire without touching its underlying buffer. This change is in match step with the recent updates to the XMLHttpRequest2 spec.
